NEW DELHI: Hero's Super Splendor XTEC starts lower at Rs 85,448 ex-showroom Delhi, compared with Rs 89,767 for the Glamour X. Both are 124.7 cc commuters, but their variant prices and equipment tell different stories. In particular, the Glamour X's cruise control and Panic Brake Alert belong to its Disc version, not the lower-priced Drum entry.

Price as of 8 November 2026, 23:30 IST. These are the named versions in Hero's official Delhi price tables. The figures are ex-showroom, so registration, insurance and any chosen accessories still need to be accounted for separately.
The base-price gap hides a larger disc-to-disc difference
The Drum versions are separated by Rs 4,319. Comparing the Disc versions changes the difference to Rs 9,042, with the Super Splendor XTEC again lower. Both gaps are calculated directly from the official figures. This is why comparing only the starting prices misses an important part of the story.
There is an especially revealing crossover in the tables: the Super Splendor XTEC Disc at Rs 89,044 costs Rs 723 less than the Glamour X Drum. The cheaper model name can therefore mean a disc-brake version at a price below the other motorcycle's drum-brake entry.
That does not settle the equipment comparison, because the motorcycles have different displays, styling and rider features. It does establish a useful reference point. A quotation should identify both the model and the brake variant before a meaningful price difference is calculated.
Glamour X's headline features need the right variant
Hero promotes three ride modes, an adaptive multicolour console, Bluetooth connectivity and its Sprint engine with balancer technology on the Glamour X page. Its specification lists 11.4 BHP at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The emphasis is on adding electronic features to a familiar commuter capacity.
The page's own Drum-versus-Disc matrix is more precise than the broad promotional headlines. Cruise control, Panic Brake Alert, an LED tail lamp and LED winkers are marked present on Disc and absent on Drum. These differences help explain why moving between the two Glamour X versions is more than a brake-hardware upgrade.
For someone researching cruise control, the relevant listed figure is consequently Rs 98,086 for the Disc version. The starting price belongs to a different equipment package. Keeping those facts together avoids the common mistake of attaching the most prominent feature to the cheapest version.
Super Splendor XTEC has a different commuter emphasis
Hero lists a fully digital speedometer, Bluetooth call and SMS alerts, USB charging and i3S idle-stop technology for the Super Splendor XTEC. Its five-speed constant-mesh gearbox and wet multiplate clutch sit alongside a fuel-injected, air-cooled single-cylinder engine.
The official brake specification gives a 240 mm front disc or a 130 mm front drum, with a 130 mm rear drum. Its Delhi price table explicitly names the OBD2B Drum and Disc versions. Those names should remain intact when comparing a written quotation with the published figures.
Its 10.6 Nm torque figure is marginally above the Glamour X's 10.5 Nm, although the Glamour X has the higher published power number. Neither small numerical difference supplies a road-test result. They show why engine capacity alone is an incomplete description, without establishing which motorcycle will feel stronger in a particular traffic situation.
Similar size does not mean identical fit
The listed seat heights are only 3 mm apart, by subtraction. That is too small a difference to replace sitting on the motorcycles and checking reach, especially for a family sharing a commuter. Seat shape and the way a rider settles into position are part of that assessment.
For a household setting a fixed ex-showroom budget, this comparison is really about two separate decisions: the model and its brake version. The Super Splendor XTEC's Disc-to-Glamour X Drum crossover is the detail that a simple cheapest-to-costliest ranking would conceal. The Glamour X Disc's additional equipment then creates a second, larger step.
